A new Annual Performance Licence will be required for any future performance(s) outside the date period printed on your current licence

In addition, with so many of our musicals and nativities purchased in digital format, you need a legal way to install or distribute copies for use around the school or church. Your Annual Performance Licence will also cover you for the following digital usages permissions:

Downloading Words on Screen™ song files onto more than one computer or onto a network

Copying song files from an audio CD onto more than one computer or onto a network

Copying MP3 audio files onto more than one computer or onto a network

Uploading digital content to an intranet or learning platform

A separate Annual Performance Licence is required for each product title that you use in any of these ways. Please note that if you have purchased an Out of the Ark Annual Digital Site Licence – Multi-Product, this will cover the digital usage permissions above for these products, but does not cover the performance rights; an Annual Performance Licence will still be required to perform the musical or nativity.

Annual Digital Site Licence – Multi-Product
If you have 4 or more product titles that you wish to licence, you may want to consider purchasing our Out of the Ark Music Annual Digital Site Licence – Multi-Product for £39.96pa. This licence covers the same usages as the single product licence, but gives you blanket digital permissions for all Out of the Ark products that you buy. However, it does not include the right to perform any of our musicals or nativities to an audience (other than pupils and staff) – a separate Annual Performance Licence is still required for each of those titles.
